Question
1. Given that the position of a particle is defined in terms of time by the equation below,
where x is in meters and t is in seconds, determine:
x =
t
4t3 +t2 3t2
+ 4
t3
(a) the average velocity of the particle from t = 1.0 s to t = 3.0 s, (Ans: vape = 16 m/s)
(b) the instantaneous velocity of the particle at t = 2.5 s, (Ans: v, = 20.52 m/s)
(c) the average acceleration of the particle from t = 2.0 s to t = 3.0 s, and
(Ans: aave = 8.42 m/s?)
(d) the t at which the instantaneous acceleration of the particle is 8.10 m/s.
(Ans: t = 3.91 s)
